    Simple and to the point. Love it! Thanks for the answer. I'll post pics when complete.

    First time modder - 2 questions

    Antec P182SE Motherboard tray/ panel cutout for easy Heatsink access I would like to create an opening in the side panel to access the heatsink backplate without completely having to remove the entire motherboard when swapping the heatsink. Many cases already have this as a stock feature, but...

    Western Digital Suffix

    Actually I was able to find some info on their website, it's not easy to find but it's there. The differences are present but very subtle and I can imagine quite a few people reading review on one model and then ending up with the wrong one. Anyway, if you go to WD's Support website one can...

    Western Digital Suffix

    Has anyone ever wondered what the Suffixes stand for on WD Hard drives and gotten an answer? If so, can you pls give me a pointer as to where I can find out more? I've been looking to buy some hard drives but said suffixes confuse me, ie WD3000HLFS or WDBACN3000ENC. As far as I can tell they...

    Not enough Amps?

    Even though they are on two separate rails? 2x25 on one rail and another 2x25 on another rail, all dedicated PCI-E... Just to be sure, my original question has been answered, at this point I'm just trying to learn more.

    Not enough Amps?

    Yep, those are the specs I posted. The way Antec states it, it reads that there are 2x22A & 2x25A 12V rails, and each has an OCP of 37A. I assume they mean you can't pull more than 37A from any specific combination. The PCI-E lines have 2x25A each, and there are four of them, giving me 50A...

    Not enough Amps?

    I may have not expressed it adequately enough but that's what I was trying to say. In a nutshell, I have 84A. :cool:

    Not enough Amps?

    To conclude: I have 4 PCI-E lines on two separate rails, which gives me 50 Amps per rail. Since the 560's requirements are 30 Amps, I have more than enough as most PSU's run their 12V lines off a single rail. Even if the 4 PCI-E lines ran on a single rail, I'd (probably) still have enough since...

    Not enough Amps?

    Thank You for that explanation, it's making more and more sense now. Also, I've been reading up on Amps and Volts and Watts and what the definitions are and how they "interact".

    Not enough Amps?

    It's not the Wattage, it's the Amps I'm concerned/ trying to educate myself about. The part I'm trying to grasp is if the CP-850 uses all 4 together then I'm way more than safe.If not then I am underpowered.

    Not enough Amps?

    THAT'S the explanation I've been looking for! It makes sense.

    Not enough Amps?

    Ok, so it doesn't matter if it's quad rail or single rail? This guy here is implying that it does matter. The way I understand it, is that if they are on a single rail, the total is 64A, just like you say. But if, as in my case, they are on separate rails, the total combined doesn't matter as...

    Not enough Amps?

    But it's quad rail, they each have they're own rail... Yes, I have enough space, after making enough space

    Not enough Amps?

    I just recently bought the Antec CP-850 Powersupply based off the excellent reviews I have read. Now, after doing a little research on a new vidcard, I am having second thoughts about this PSU: When I was looking for a new videocard on newegg, I came across the EVGA 560. The specs for this card...
